Gathering the sinister stories about the Crestmont’s history was a hobby of his as a matter of fact. But, none of what he learned convinced him that there was anything at play inside this building that couldn’t be explained naturally – until the day he died there.Grady’s mysterious death leads him on a journey to finding out the truth about the Crestmont Hotel’s “long term residents” – a truth that can only be uncovered now that he has become one of them.
